★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The most southerly point you can get to with 15B. Wander to the main road and turn left for some excellent street food and also good latte.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wat Rajsingkorn ( Wat Prakarai ) 2194 Charoenkrung Rd., Wat Prayakrai, Bang Kho Laem district, Bangkok 10120, Thailand. Situated next to Asiatique on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. Chao Phraya Express Boat Orange Flag line operates from this terminal S3 to Nonthaburi daily between 06.00am to 19.00pm hours. The Temple is small compared to others in Bangkok. But still holds that special charm that makes Temples in Thailand so unique.
Back in the 1900's, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Asian countries were under threat of invasion from the European superpowers. With great foresight, King Chulalongkorn took the initiative to raise Siam to the level of leading countries of the world and decided to establish relations with Denmark. Included in this process was the construction of a pier belonging to the East Asiatic Company, a business dedicated to the export of teak wood and owned by Mr. Hans Nille Andersen, a Danish national. This pier signalled the beginning of international trade between the Kingdom of Siam ( the former name of Thailand ) and European nations and was the key to Siam maintaining the sovereignty and independence it enjoys to this day. Today, that same area which the East Asiatic pier occupies is being restored to its original glory under the name Asiatique, The Riverfront, the first and the biggest lifestyle project in Asia on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, and soon to become Bangkok’s trendiest landmark.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ the first pier for the chao phraya express boar. it's quite difficult to find but if you get down to the river and find the pier then you simply get on the next express boat to depart, enjoy the view while you wait and when you leave the pier they will come around so you can pay the 15 baht for ticket when they come around. it's a much more relaxed way to start a Chao Phraya river journey than having to cope with the tourist hordes at Saphan Taksin. the express boats go all the way to Nonthaburi
